Summary0003485: Convert DestroyAllMonsterNests and the extermination needs away from dealing with nests.
DescriptionHaving the DestroyAllMonsterNests become something like DestroyAllNamedMonsters or whatever, and having the extermination needs be related to bands of named monsters.

We can do more things later of course, but this would be the most direct and straightforward translation for now, and I think it's worthwhile to have bands of named monsters in the fashion that we'd discussed, even if we use other mechanics in the meantime as well.

No rush on this, but I wanted it off my list but noted down in mantis.

Yea, can do this whenever we have named monsters. Were you planning on doing those as part of normal seeding, or do you want me to do it at the macrogame level during region-gen (or whenever, but probably start there) and have chunk-gen thread them in like it does the settlement NPCs (via a stub request record, no entity created until the chunk gen's)?

I don't plan to have any named monsters during seeding -- I look at those as being macro-game-based. By the way, feel free to have custom NPC-style stats and such for them, rather than them just being up-leveled versions of their base monster type.

If this fits within your time budget, I'd like you to handle the seeding of this sort of evil-NPC-style stuff related to evil outposts, etc. I can go back through and add other things like traps and unusual monsters in general and whatnot to evil outposts as part of the normal seeding, but those are more like level obstacles while these named monsters are more like evil NPCs -- hence the distinction, and why I wanted to toss them your way.
